Chapter 121: Jiang Yues Aunt

Translator: _Min_

Meng Zhi looked sympathetically at Gu Dai and softly comforted her, Dont be sad, Daidai. The reason they believe Jiang Yue is that their own interests havent been harmed yet. Once they are, their faith will crumble.

Gu Dai shook her head, her gaze fixed on the screen as she softly spoke, But Jiang Yues actions should have hurt Song Lings interests, shouldnt they? Yet he still chooses to believe her.

Meng Zhi paused for a moment before a.s.serting, 1 think Song Ling cant be indifferent. There must be some other reason for his actions.

A look of confusion seeped into Gu Dais face. Another reason, you say?

Similar doubts plagued Song Zhi. He couldnt understand why these people were still so steadfast in their belief in Jiang Yue, even after a witness had come forward. However, he had another card up his sleeve, courtesy of the family patriarch.

Looking at w.a.n.g Lan, he spoke, Madam, do you know why the patriarch has never accepted Miss Jiang Yue?

Without hesitation, w.a.n.g Lan responded, What else could it be? Isnt it because he favors that woman, Gu Dai, and doesnt want Jiang Yue to marry into the Song family?

Song Zhi did not deny it, adding, Thats part of it, but theres also the fact that Miss Jiang Yue has an aunt.

Song Yu glanced skeptically at Song Zhi. So what? Lots of people have aunts. Are you saying that only orphans like Gu Dai, who have no parents or relatives, are suitable to marry into the Song family?

Song Zhi:

Upon hearing the mention of her aunt, Jiang Yue felt as if she were on the brink of collapse. She turned to Song Ling and whispered, Song Ling, my stomach hurts. Can you take me to the hospital?

Ignoring Jiang Yue, Song Zhi loudly declared, Having an aunt is normal.

Whats not normal is that her aunts name is Jiang Lin!

w.a.n.g Lan froze as the name resounded in her ears. Images of Jiang Lin, with her bewitching allure, flashed through her mind. Her face twisted as she demanded, screaming at Song Zhi, Which Jiang Lin are you talking about?

Song Zhi locked eyes with her and said, Madam, you already know the answer in your heart, dont you?

Upon receiving confirmation, w.a.n.g Lan felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. The name Jiang Lin was like a bolt from the blue, shattering the world around her.

Song Yu, listening to the exchange between Song Zhi and w.a.n.g Lan, felt puzzled and asked, Mom, whats going on? Who is this Jiang Lin, and why do you seem to despise her so much?

w.a.n.g Lan lowered her head, her teeth clenched in a bitter smile. Jiang Lin is the woman who once threw our family into utter chaos, she said, her voice tinged with darkness.

Song Yus eyes widened in disbelief, her hand covering her mouth. What?!

Years ago, w.a.n.g Lan and her husband were known in their social circle as a deeply loving couple. Despite his familys objections, Song Lings father had been unwavering in his commitment to w.a.n.g Lan.

But Jiang Lins arrival shattered that idyllic picture. Song Lings fathers affections s.h.i.+fted from w.a.n.g Lan to Jiang Lin as if he were under a spell.

It was a lifelong wound for w.a.n.g Lan. Shed dreamt countless times of eradicating Jiang Lin. What she hadnt expected was to spend years unknowingly doting on the niece of the woman she despised, even going out of her way to help her.

Fueled by a torrent of emotions, w.a.n.g Lan stormed up to Jiang Yue, raising her hand to deliver a stinging slap. Youre that bit*hs niece, and you dared to show your face around me? Doesnt your conscience bother you, seeing how well Ive treated you?

Jiang Yues head snapped to the side from the force of the slap and a trickle of blood emerged from the corner of her mouth. She covered her stinging cheek as tears filled her eyes. 1 cut ties with her after finding out she was someones mistress. I have no contact with her!

But w.a.n.g Lan wasnt listening. The sight of Jiang Yues tear-streaked face only reminded her more of Jiang Lin.

Seized by this thought, she couldnt help but slap Jiang Yue again, shouting, Ive seen these tricks before with your aunt! You little bit*h, you thought you could deceive me with the same tactics?

After being slapped twice in quick succession, Jiang Yue could no longer maintain her usually gentle demeanor. As w.a.n.g Lan raised her hand to slap her again, Jiang Yue swiftly caught her wrist and flung it away..
